PEP 589 introduces typed dictionaries, but for a fixed set of predefined

contrast, I am looking for an arbitrary number of typed keys/value pairs.

But that's exactly what Dict[int, str] already is -- the keys are ints, the values are strings, and there can be any number of items.

What are you looking for that's different from that??

As far as I can tell, there is a bug / missing feature in typeguard.

What could you possibly do to better specify this particular type?

Maybe that's more clear in the SO thread you referenced, but SO seems to be down at the moment ...
